My mother always told me when I suffered from a broken heart as a teen, “There are plenty of fish in the sea.” As I got older, I always remembered that tidbit of advice and it served me well. Apparently, many other people from my generation heard the same phrase and a variation has been coined by a free dating service featured at Plentyoffish.

The website is purportedly run from the owner’s apartment with no employees and has coupled over 500,000 relationships to date. Plentyoffish also states that 49 percent of the women leave the website because they have found their current boyfriend through the service. Although I cannot attest to the truth of these statements, there were definitely a lot of people from the United States, Canada, Australia, Ireland the the UK posting profiles at this free dating website.

Besides offering a free dating service, Plentyoffish also seems to be a relatively secure website that takes your privacy into consideration. There are plenty of options to block certain details from your profile and to refrain from receiving email communications from other members or have them rate your profile. If you choose to be a quiet, safe member of Plentyoffish it seems to be an available option. On the other hand, there are also opportunities to email and rate other members if you want to.

I liked that Plentyoffish was international, secure, user—friendly and free. Overall, it seemed like a reliable, cost—effective way to meet people in a fairly safe Internet environment.
